Plot

The short start with Woody singing while driving his car, but he forgets to pay attention to where he's driving and crashes his car into a pole. Woody then goes to Sympathy Loan Co. to borrow money for a new car. However the loaner tricks Woody into signing for a loan of $1.

Woody finds the sleazy loaner very sympathetic until he gets his loan, but the loaner underestimates Woody's capacity for befuddling anyone.

Production notes

Woody is voiced in the film by Kent Rogers. However, his singing at the beginning of the short is reused audio of Mel Blanc from 1941's Woody Woodpecker.[3]
